This chapter delves into the essential tools for memory analysis, focusing on Volatility and Redline. Volatility, an open-source command-line tool, is praised for its versatility and modular design, allowing for in-depth memory analysis. The chapter provides a detailed walkthrough of installing and using Volatility 2.6, including profiles and plugins, and introduces the newer Volatility 3. Redline, a graphical tool developed by FireEye, is highlighted for its user-friendly interface and capabilities in incident response, including whitelisting and Indicators of Compromise. The chapter offers practical insights and comparisons, making it a valuable resource for professionals seeking to enhance their memory forensics skills.
